Charles (Cj) Wells, 
LPC, CADC

My work is shaped by the belief that ealing often begins quietly, in the moments when we feel safe enough to pause, listen inward, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves we have learned to silence. I strive to create a space that feels steady, grounded, and deeply human. My approach is warm and relational, guided by curiosity and respect for your lived experience. I integrate evidence based practices with an appreciation for the ways people grow in their own time, often in ways that are subtle but profoundly meaningful.

​

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I support adults moving through anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. My training as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor informs how I understand coping patterns, and helps me support clients who want to explore their relationships with substances. Therapy can be a place to rediscover your strengths, understand what has shaped you, and cultivate resilience that feels authentic and sustainable.

 

What Clients Can Expect

You can expect a warm, steady, and nonjudgmental environment. I show up with curiosity and care, listening closely to the stories you carry and the emotions that accompany them. You do not need to arrive with clarity or answers. Therapy is a space where uncertainty is welcome, and where growth often begins with being heard.

Our work is collaborative. We will explore what feels most important to you, set meaningful goals, and adjust our direction as your needs evolve. My role is to help you feel supported and grounded as you navigate challenges, deepen insight, and build new ways of relating to yourself and others.

 

My Approach to the Therapeutic Process

Our first session is an invitation to slow down and share what brings you in, the concerns you are carrying, the hopes you have, and the parts of your story that feel ready to be spoken. I will ask thoughtful questions to understand your history and what you want from our time together. We will work together to begin shaping a direction that feels supportive and manageable.

 

In ongoing sessions, we may explore emotional patterns, reflect on relationships, or practice new ways of coping and connecting. Sessions often blend insight with skill building, allowing space for both reflection and movement. I tailor each session to your needs and check in regularly to ensure therapy feels grounding, meaningful, and aligned with your growth.
